QUESTIONS I RECEIVED:
The struts were used for 2010 Autocross Season. I also Time Trialed 2010. 2011 was exclusively on track. There is nothing wrong with the struts that I know of.

They were great for autocross. NASA assigns 7 points to the strut due to the external reservoir. I am now wheel to wheel racing and these points were needed for better use, so I switched to another strut for this year on track.

The adjusters are modified Tokico adjusters which were tapped and threaded onto hex keys.

I will ship to Canada but obviously that is at additional cost.

New members with low thread posts and Trader Scores will be required to provide confirmed funds prior to shipping. You can see I have a high Trader Score, am very public, and you can buy with confidence.
